The Portuguese manager took over from Mauricio Pochettino in November, and as Last Word on Spurs showed from their official Twitter account, Mourinho already looks physically older despite being in the job for less than two months in north London.
Will Harry Kane's absence greatly impact our season?
Yes
No
The former Manchester United boss has managed to steer the ship for Spurs since joining, taking the club back into contention for a Premier League top-four finish and guiding the club to the Round of 16 of the Champions League, yet Tottenham supporters on social media believe Mourinho has physically aged in his short spell with the club.
Here’s what plenty of Spurs fans had to say about Mourinho on Twitter…
